My understanding of the process: From mediawikis login manual https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Login When using MediaWiki's web service API, you will probably need your application or client to log in.

My site was hacked and the useragent is sending googlebot the incorrect page.

Currently, I'm trying to move a docx to a mediawiki file and preserve the proper filenames in the [[Image:]] tags. For some reason, the proper image file gets swallowed (ie, normally it'd be media/image4.jpg, but instead it's just empty).

composer-php,mediawiki,semantic-mediawiki
We've switched from using Semantic Bundle to install extensions by using Composer. Now we can skip, for some extensions, manually including entry points at the LocalSettings.php file (http://www.bn2vs.com/blog/2013/11/24/introduction-to-composer-for-mediawiki-developers). But how does MediaWiki know which extensions to load. Does it read composer.json?
